Math Problem Statement
4.01g of solid NaOH is dissolved in 50.00 mL of water in a cup calorimeter. The water in the calorimeter is initially at 20.1°C then increases to 28.6°C with the complete dissolution of the NaOH. What is the enthalpy of reaction (∆Hrxn) in kJ/mol of this dissolution? Note: you will need to utilize the posted Table of Water Densities. Report the value (to 1 decimal place) only; DO NOT include units.
